Standard tank type water heaters are hefty storage tanks which contain between 30 and 80 gallons of water. They are greatly insulated to help make sure your water will continue to be nice and hot any time you you desire it.
Tank water heaters are usually able to be counted on, however they occasionally have issues. Below are a few frequently occurring issues that affect standard tank style gas and electric water heaters.
The most frequent reason there is not any hot water in the water heater is a blown circuit breaker. The initial thing you should evaluate is the breaker box.
If the fuse box is not an issue then the heating elements or the thermostat on an electric water heater could be faulty. On a gas water heater, the key things to check are the pilot and the gas control valve.
Rusty hot water could be due to corrosion of the pipes, water tank, or anode rod. If this is not treated, corrosion could cause further deterioration and develop a leak in the water tank. Changing out an anode rod is a relatively uncomplicated procedure and it could extend the lifetime of your water heater by several years.
Hot water that is just discolored, but does not contain rust is likely caused by hard water build up on the heating element or debris inside the tank.
Hot water that smells like rotten eggs or sulfur generally is caused from bacteria build up in the water heater.
A water leak from the base of the tank can be due to a few different issues. It could be from a temperature and pressure valve, condensation, a leaking gasket, deterioration of the tank, or draining from the overflow pipe.
Water leaking from the top of the water heater may be due to the hot water outlet or cold water inlet pipes, a faulty temperature and pressure valve, or a loose connection.
There are a few reasons why a pilot will not light or stay lit. The pilot light tube might be clogged, there may be air in the gas line, the gas valve might be defective, or the thermocouple requires replacing.
Strange noises from your water heater such as banging, knocking, hissing, and other sounds frequently happen when there is a buildup of sediment in the bottom of the water heater tank. Hissing could indicate that there is a leak or condensation. The majority of sounds are nothing serious, but it's still a smart idea to have it checked.
If you have a sudden drop in hot water pressure, it might be caused by calcium deposits in your pipes or faucets.
